Final Federal Register Notice

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 11 / Friday, January 16, 2009 / Notices
ALJ. Section 5(c)(1) and (8) of the Act
describe the employees to whom the
Commission may delegate review
functions in cases of adjudications. 47
U.S.C. 155(c)(1), (8). These statutory
provisions are inapplicable here because
the Bureau is not reviewing any
decision of the ALJ. Indeed, the ALJ has
not issued any decision as required by
the HDO so there is no ALJ
recommended decision to review. The
ALJ’s authority under the HDO was
limited to issuing a recommended
decision within 60 days of the release
date of the HDO. The HDO made clear
that the Commission was to render the
ultimate decision and nothing in the
HDO divested the Commission (or the
Media Bureau on delegated authority)
from resolving the factual disputes and
issuing a decision in the event that the
ALJ failed to exercise its delegated
authority under the HDO.
19. The cable operators also argue that
the period for seeking reconsideration
under Section 405 of the Act (47 U.S.C.
405) has passed, and that a request for
revocation of the hearing designation
would be an improper appeal of an
interlocutory ruling. We need not
address these arguments because we are
neither reconsidering nor revoking the
HDO. As indicated above, the grant of
authority in the instant matters was
limited to the ALJ issuing a
recommended decision by December 10,
2008. That date having passed, the ALJ
has no further authority over these
matters and revocation and
reconsideration are unnecessary. Thus,
the petitions to revoke or reconsider the
HDO are moot.

General Description of Reports
These information collections are
mandatory: 12 U.S.C. 161 and 1817
(national banks), 12 U.S.C. 248(a),
1844(c), and 3906 (state member banks
and bank holding companies); and 12
U.S.C. 1817 and 1820 (insured state
nonmember commercial and savings
banks). The FFIEC 009 information

Abstract
The Country Exposure Report (FFIEC
009) is filed quarterly with the agencies
and provides information on
international claims of U.S. banks and
bank holding companies that is used for
supervisory and analytical purposes.
The information is used to monitor
country exposure of banks to determine
the degree of risk in their portfolios and
the possible impact on U.S. banks of
adverse developments in particular
countries. The Country Exposure
Information Report (FFIEC 009a) is a
supplement to the FFIEC 009 and
provides publicly available information
on material foreign country exposures
(all exposures to a country in excess of
1 percent of total assets or 20 percent of
capital, whichever is less) of U.S. banks
and bank holding companies that file
the FFIEC 009 report. As part of the
Country Exposure Information Report,
reporting institutions must also furnish
a list of countries in which they have
lending exposures above 0.75 percent of
total assets or 15 percent of total capital,
whichever is less.
Request for Comment
Comments are invited on:
a. Whether the information
collections are necessary for the proper
performance of the agencies’ functions,
including whether the information has
practical utility;
b. The accuracy of the agencies’
estimates of the burden of the
information collections, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;

c. Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
d. Ways to minimize the burden of
information collections on respondents,
including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and
e. Estimates of capital or start up costs
and costs of operation, maintenance,
and purchase of services to provide
information.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be shared among the
agencies. All comments will become a
matter of public record. Written
comments should address the accuracy
of the burden estimates and ways to
minimize burden including the use of
automated collection techniques or the
use of other forms of information
technology as well as other relevant
aspects of the information collection
request.
